IMPORTANT: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS, FAULTY INSTALLATION OR IMPROPER USE MAY CAUSE SEVERE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY, AND MAY ALSO VOID ALL OR PART OF YOUR Southbend EQUIPMENT WARRANTY!!!

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION:

IMPORTANT: Southbend strongly recommends that SOFT WATER only be used in any unit requiring a water supply. Also, a good quality water filter MUST be installed in-line between the unit connection and the water supply to guard against clogging and mineral build-up in the components. This is extremely important in areas having hard water. This filter may be installed at the water source or adjacent to the Water Inlet Fitting on the Smoker, whichever is more convenient for you.

This equipment is to be installed to comply with the federal, state and local plumbing codes having jurisdiction.

To correctly install a water supply to your SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES Smoker:

A. Run the correct size tubing from the water supply to the unit's location; this tubing should be at least as big as the Water Inlet Fitting (¼") on the back of the unit. Allow some slack for final unit positioning and service. Avoid any kinks or strains on the tubing and place the tubing where it will not be damaged in any way.

B. The tubing end that attaches to the back of the Smoker must not be damaged or deformed in any way. The cut end should be cut straight and clean with no deforming of the tubing. All burrs and sharp edges should be removed to ensure a proper and leak-free connection.

C. Position the tubing so that the tubing runs straight into the Water Inlet Fitting. Be careful not to

kink the tubing if you bend it, and do not bend the tubing within two (2) inches of the end.

D. The two-part compression fitting (tapered collar and nut) is placed approximately 1" onto the tubing so that the collar is inside of the nut and the threaded opening of the nut is toward the Water Inlet Fitting.

E. Push the tubing all the way into the Water Inlet Fitting (approximately ¼") and hold it there while you thread the compression nut onto the Water Inlet Fitting. Use an open-end wrench to slowly tighten the compression nut until it is just snug, but do not over-tighten the fitting! If the joint leaks when tested and further gentle tightening does not stop the leak the two-part compression fitting must be replaced.

Careful attention to these simple procedures will help to ensure an installation without leaks. If you have any questions or problems please call the Southbend Service Department at (919) 552-9161.
